Is Eru God? Please note that the question isn't, "Is Eru the god of Middle-Earth?" (he pretty clearly is) but, is Eru the Elvish name for God (Jehovah)?
Posted by Tuor of Gondolin:
Quote:
The Silmarillion beginning makes it clear that Ea is
monotheistic, and the valar are essentially angelic
spirits, so Eru is God. Of course, being a
pre-Christian world Eru is a more generalized deity.
Given what you said, Tuor, it sounds like you are agreeing that Eru was the god of Middle-Earth.
